“…All cases have been registered at the EuraHS registry (http://www.eurahs.eu); among them, we analyzed 29 procedures performed using a new composite polypropylene mesh (CMC, Clear Composite Mesh, DIPROMED srl San Mauro Torinese, Turin, Italy), fixed with absorbable tackers (ETHICON, Ethicon LLC Guaynabo, Puerto Rico 00969). We performed 23 incisional hernia repairs, 4 primary hernia repairs (1 umbilical, 2 epigastric and 1 lumbar hernia) and 2 parastomal hernia repairs. …”

“…We generated candidate H7N9 vaccine strains using reverse genetics, consisting of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes derived from a human H7N9 virus and the remaining genes from the PR8 (A/PuertoRico/8/34 (H1N1)) virus. This H7N9 vaccine exhibited superior efficacy when combined with MF59 compared to other adjuvants. …”

“…METHODS: This study is a secondary analysis of data collected between 2003 and 2007 by the 10/66 Dementia Research Group, from 1451 couples aged over 65 years from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Kappa statistic was used to assess the agreement of the behavior beyond chance, and logistic regression models with meta‐analyses were used to estimate the factors associated with concordance. …”

“…To determine the likely effects of elevated temperatures on tropical forest understory plants and soils, as well as other ecosystems, an infrared (IR) heater system was developed to provide in situ warming for the Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico. Three replicate heated 4‐m‐diameter plots were warmed to maintain a 4°C increase in understory vegetation compared to three unheated control plots, as sensed by IR thermometers. …”

“…In this study, using human isogenic p53 wild-type and p53null A549 cells generated from the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we observed that p53null cells exhibit significantly reduced viral propagation when infected with influenza A virus (strain A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 H1N1). Genome-wide microarray analysis revealed that p53 regulates the expression of a large set of interferon-inducible genes, among which the interferon-induced transmembrane family members IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3 were most significantly downregulated by the expression of p53. …”

While the Hispaniolan population displays dimorphism in call frequencies, the higher frequency of the females is incompatible with sexual selection. …”
